Johnny Eck from the Tod Browning FIlm "Freaks"
A strangely moving film that cannot make up its mind to be exploitive or to defend the (actual) circus freaks that make up the bulk of the films cast. Tod Browning (he of "Dracula" fame among others) directed this M-G-M movie about the revenge of a band of carnival freaks who react when one of their number is targeted for a sham marriage and eventual murder by two "normals" from their circus. Johnny Eck appears throughout the movie, moving around adroitly on his two hands.

Art Deco
I have been reading the book "The Deco Style" by Dan Klein, Nancy McClelland, and Malcolm Haslam (Rizzoli Books, 1986). It covers the gamut of Deco influences and history, with a large number of photographs and line and poster art of the deco era (and its revivals). I am particularly interested in Deco type faces, which the book does not cover in any specific sense, other than the poster and catalog samples which show how deco motivated font designers of the era. An excellent example is shown below with two photo scans from the book of Deco clocks (the number shapes are very deco, to say the least):
It's been raining a bit in Chesterfield, Virginia. When you take pictures through the inside windshield of the vehicle, you can get unusual distortion effects.
